Re: St. Xenia of Kalamata, the forgotten saint
I've got an idea. I am painting an icon of this very same Saint for someone -won't mention who- and I will post step-by-step pictures of the icon being produced.
Thoughts?
Truly, if the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father is perfect, then that from the Son is superfluous.

Sounds wonderful, Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

No scroll on this one. Just a "common" bust icon with her holding a cross and raising her hand in the usual gesture.

Re: St. Xenia of Kalamata, the forgotten saint
I see. Will you include anthing in the background, buildings, hills, trees or animals or something? Or perhaps a bust icon does not include those things usually, come to think of it...
I am quite ignorant about such things.
